GamingLives takes a look at Cyanide Studio's latest release - the stealth-based Styx: Master of Shadows. "If you're looking for a walk in the park with sporadic face-offs, Master of Shadows is definitely not for you. It's a glorious rooftop/crawlspace/shadows-based rollercoaster with more than a hint of sarcasm thrown in for good measure and, despite its difficulty, I feel compelled to play through it until I max every in-game challenge and achievement, and I don't imagine it'll get boring."

Styx: Master of Shadows is a stealth RPG developed by French studio Cyanide and set in the dark fantasy universe established in their 2012 release, Of Orcs and Men. As a prequel to that title, Styx focuses on the exploits of master thief and assassin, Styx, on his quest to understand his goblin origins and in the process make a fortune by stealing whatever he can.

Avoiderdragon: There have been quite a stealth action games coming out these days, with Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor being quite a hit. But then again, this year also saw the new Thief, which basically ended up being a discredit to the legacy of Looking Glass Studios.

TG writes: Styx: Master of Shadows has snuck its way onto next gen consoles and PC. Is the game ready to emerge from the shadows and land on your gaming device of choice, or should it just stay there?

PlayStation Lifestyle: To be honest, I didnt think much of Styx: Master of Shadows when I first began seeing the trailers and gameplay videos around the internet. I had played Of Orcs and Men, another Cyanide Studios game that apparently takes place after the events in Styx, and I didnt really like it. So I was surprised to find that although Styx has its fair share of problems, it is an incredibly enjoyable and intelligent game.

Tin Salamunic: Why is nobody talking about this game? Thats the lingering question everytime Cyanide Studio releases a new title. These guys may not have the absurd budget of most AAA developers, but their works always radiate with personality and great gameplay mechanics. Styx: Master of Shadows is the latest gem in a long line of overlooked Cyanide releases and its about time more gamers start paying attention. Styx combines elements of Dishonored, Hitman, Mark of the Ninja and Splinter Cell into a superb stealth adventure that every genre fan needs in their collection. What else? Its only $29.99! Its half the price and twice the quality and value of most things released these days. While it still suffers from a few technical hiccups here and there, Styx: Master of Shadows puts the recent Thief remake to shame. Tenchu and Shinobido fans pay attention!

Neil writes "Styx will scare a fair number of you. Not because he is green, nor because he is a Goblin. His hidden daggers and throwing knives shouldnt worry you either. What will scare a fair number of gamers though is the stealthy approach Styx needs to take at all times."

While it cribs the best parts of Splinter Cell Metal Gear Solid, the fantasy-flavored stealth action game Styx Master Of Shadows is ultimately just okay.

Styx is a bit under the radar, and he likes it that way. He's the lone goblin in a world crawling with crooked humans and elves that look like sleepy cousins of Avatar's na'vi, and his small stature means the big guys can usually take him out with a single punch. Styx: Master of Shadows itself isn't much different. It's the kind of game whose very existence might go unnoticed by those who only follow the heavyweights, but the power of some of its features could surprise those who judge it by its all-too-visible flaws. It's a rare stealth game that takes its label seriously, and it's worth seeking out if you're weary of today's assassins with a fondness for open street brawls.
